Xuanzang’s life is a beacon of devotion, wisdom, and bravery. His thirst for knowledge led him across deserts and mountains, through foreign lands and unfamiliar tongues.

A bit of Buddhist history. Buddhist monk Xuanzang travelled the Silk Road. He survived the dangerous Taklamakan Desert and the high and harsh mountains of Tian Shan. ’The life and adventures of a Chinese monk Hsüan-tsang' wp.me/sFy3u-xuanzang #Xuanzang

The university named after #Xuanzang celebrates Oct. 3, the day of the Śarīra's arrival on campus, as its anniversary.
Fragments of the fabled monk's skull are believed to be worshipped at 9 sites across China (7, some were lost during the Cultural Revolution), India (1), Japan (2), and Taiwan (2).

The bone relics were temporarily placed at Taipei's Shandao Temple and Miaoli's Kaishan Temple before the 1965 completion of #Xuanzang (Syuentzang) Temple next to Sun Moon Lake. The original plans called for the #temple to be built on an isle at the lake center that is sacred to the Indigenous Thao.
#TaiwanArchives: In 1955, #Taipei welcomed the arrival of the bone relics of #Xuanzang (玄奘), a Tang dynasty monk who traveled to India to procure 657 Buddhist scriptures. His 17-year pilgrimage was immortalized in the Chinese classic "Journey to the West (西遊記)." The Śarīra, however, came from Japan.
